My dog is approaching the 5 month mark and is in need of some discipline. Can anyone recommend a good canine obedience school in the seattle area?

I recently adoopted a three year old treeing walker coonhound from the local animal shelter. He hates to be alone. Whenever I go inside he starts barking and will not stop until I come back out. He does this all night and our neighbors and starting to complain. He is a sweet dog but I was wondering if there is anything I could do ?? Thanks

The hound puddle-their weight just shifts from one place to another inside that loose skin-and they don't physically move. I'd get down on my knees and roll Stonewall like a barrel to the outside or into my bedroom. I'd call him first, grab the scruff of his neck or collar. After 3 weeks of being rolled around or carried he learned that he can walk. My family laughed because I'd coo, "You can do it, just one more step." I scream a lot and wave my hands. Clapping means bed-they run and jump on our bed. When Derek Jeter matched Lou Gerhig's batting record this week-I applauded and the hounds ran to our room and jumped on the bed. I make a motion like throwing a ball with my finger pointed and they run out of the house. Making a fist and pumping it up and down means to come in.
At first, we all slept on a twin bed. I was sick one day and my son came in to find the hounds. he went and bought us a queen bed the next day. I had the stomach flu early this week. After a stint in the bathroom, Stonewall came over and moaned, as he rubbed my forehead and cheek with the side of his muzzle-no cold noses nor licking-he just pet me.

I just moved to the city from suburban PA and my 10mo. old puppy is absolutley terrified. She begs to go out but as soon as we go outside (that's if we even make it out the door) shes running back up the stairs or sits on the pavement refusing to move. I have tried carrying her to grassy patches but I can't carry her to the park every time she needs to potty. What can I do?

"I just moved to the city from suburban PA and my 10mo. old puppy is absolutley terrified.

Imagine getting to your front door only to find an entirely new world full of noise dust and huge scary things made of shiny metal. My Basset Hound Bailey originally came from the country, and we lived in the country for most of his life. I'm talking wide open fields, grass and rabbits as far as the eye can see, dirt roads and barely any cars. Then I moved out of home and took him with me into the city to get a job, I'm guessing Bailey was thinking he was in a weird remake of the Wizard of Oz because he couldn't even get out the front door. Talk about a culture shock! He'd been used to peeing on grass and trees all his life and then I was expecting him to go potty on cold hard pavement. Luckily being in Australia we're never too far from a tree or nice open grassy park so I was able to carry him to the footpath, block out the traffic by sitting next to him on the pavement and if there was a tuft of grass sticking up or a tree nearby he'd go. It took me alot longer to get him walking again though because he was scared of the cars, buses and trucks. So i used weekends and whatever time i did have like early in the morning when it was nice and quiet to take him for a walk when there weren't many cars or anything noisy around. He seemed to do fine when it was quiet and eventually i was able to leave it later and later until he didn't mind the traffic at all.
